Thank you for posting this performance. I am a viola student, and it is wonderful to listen to music that features the voice of the instrument so well. It is a joy to hear you play.
+Benton Exactly! The way this piece brings out the viola's character so powerfully is astounding. The beginning is ingenious, beginning on the lowest tone, and using the C-string to the full. I feel like Martinu, who was a violinist and surely played a lot of the viola, really understood the instrument here like few else.
Oh wow. I didn't imagine anyone would ever play this piece as well or even better than Pavel Vítek, Rysanov didn't even come close, but you pulled it off. What a fantastic performance! After the first minute I was crying, my eyes swimming. It hit me unexpectedly to hear my favourite viola piece played afresh, and then so incredibly beautifully. Well, there probably aren't many people so attached to this piece, but even those who aren't will surely fall for your playing! I'd love to hear you play the second movement :')

Great playing. Love the color of the sound on the C string especially.
Lovely playing. I am a big fan of the viola and you certainly play it beautifully.
Larry Saltzman Thank you! Yay for the viola!
My sentiments exactly. Look forward to more of your music in the future.
This performance is sick!
Very expressive shifts, especially around the 1:00 marker.
+supergod9000 Thank you! :D
